Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are highly beloved pups that have been around since the 17th century, originating in Germany. They were actually bred to hunt badgers, thus their long-bodied shape, making them excellent diggers. Fun-loving and lively, this breed is especially known for their devotion and loyalty; they are often dubbed as "one-person" or "one-family" dogs, as they are incredibly loyal to their owners and not to strangers.
Dachshunds are not considered hypoallergenic dogs because they naturally shed their coat, which can release a lot of dander and allergy-causing proteins into the air. However, some people with allergies can be able to tolerate a Dachshund if care is taken to minimize environmental allergens and if the owner takes proper steps to reduce the dog's shedding. Grooming is important; regular brushing, vacuuming of carpets and upholstery, and washing of bedding will reduce the amount of allergens in the environment.
Dachshunds should not be given fatty or spicy foods, tablescraps, or dog treats that are high in calories and saturated fats. You should also not feed them grapes, raisins, macadamia, walnuts, or avocadoes as these can be toxic and even cause death. Additionally, any snacks that are high in sugar should also be avoided, as it can lead to diabetes, dental problems, and other health issues. Whenever possible, feed your Dachshund low sodium dog food and treats to promote overall health.
Yes, Dachshunds have some special requirements compared to other breeds of dog. They require daily physical exercise and mental stimulation, and their energy level is high so having plenty of interactive toys to chew and play with is important. Grooming is another area that requires attention; Dachshunds' short coats require regular brushing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning. Additionally, due to their long spine, they can be prone to back problems, so creating an environment where they can safely jump and play is important.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are small-statured dogs with a big attitude. They are typically 9-10 inches tall and range from 16-32 pounds in weight, depending on variety. They come in three distinct coat lengths: smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired. Dachshunds are often referred to as "wiener dogs," "sausage dogs," or "hot dog" due to their physical shape. These small but mighty dogs make great companion pets as they are highly intelligent and have a ton of personality.
While some Dachshunds may be avid swimmers, not all like to take a plunge in the pool. Some may show enthusiasm for a play session adjacent to the water, but find it difficult to trust the surface and jump in. This breed has short legs and a long torso, which causes them to sink easily and often become uncomfortable when they can no longer stand. If your Dachshund decides that swimming is their preferred form of water activity, it is suggested to take proper safety measures for your pup and monitor their activities closely.
Dachshunds can make great companions for first-time owners due to their generally affectionate nature and desire to please. They are usually fairly laid-back with minimal barking and are happy with either an active family or a single person to bond with. While a lot of patience will be required when housetraining and managing potential destructive behaviors, first-time owners can also benefit from the breed's intelligence as they quickly learn the rules. Additionally, the breed's small size means they take up less room and are more affordable to own in comparison to larger breeds.
The amount of time you need to dedicate to training a Dachshund each day will depend on a few different factors. The age of the dog, the complexity of the training tasks, and the individual dog's attention span and learning capabilities can all have a significant impact on how much time should be spent in training each day. Generally, a good starting point for daily training for a Dachshund is around 15-20 minutes, but some dogs may require more or less than this depending upon the factors mentioned above.
